Wiedemann Architects LLCOur client was drawn to the property in Wesley Heights as it was in an established neighborhood of stately homes, on a quiet street with views of park. They wanted a traditional home for their young family with great entertaining spaces that took full advantage of the site.
The site was the challenge. The natural grade of the site was far from traditional. The natural grade at the rear of the property was about thirty feet above the street level. Large mature trees provided shade and needed to be preserved.
The solution was sectional. The first floor level was elevated from the street by 12 feet, with French doors facing the park. We created a courtyard at the first floor level that provide an outdoor entertaining space, with French doors that open the home to the courtyard.. By elevating the first floor level, we were able to allow on-grade parking and a private direct entrance to the lower level pub "Mulligans". An arched passage affords access to the courtyard from a shared driveway with the neighboring homes, while the stone fountain provides a focus.
A sweeping stone stair anchors one of the existing mature trees that was preserved and leads to the elevated rear garden. The second floor master suite opens to a sitting porch at the level of the upper garden, providing the third level of outdoor space that can be used for the children to play.
The home's traditional language is in context with its neighbors, while the design allows each of the three primary levels of the home to relate directly to the outside.

Azenco OutdoorThis stunning Puerto Rican beach home was in the process of adding an elegant carport to its grounds, ensuring that this homeowner's expanding collection of cars would have a luxurious space. To guarantee it adequately met both the client and architect's exacting standards for design, installation company SHO-Pros - Azenco Outdoor dealer in Puerto Rico - with their experience crafting luxury carports were brought on board. The result: An exquisitely crafted two-zone solid roofed carport structure providing shade from sun and rain - fit precisely to encase two cars and golf cart accessories needed around resort areas!
This luxury carport was designed to enhance the sophisticated vibe of this Caribbean community. The modern architecture boasted all white exteriors, along with floor-to-ceiling windows that provided breathtaking vistas from every room. To complement its elegance, SHO-Pros opted for an Azenco R-Car fixed roof car port - a sleek structure without any visible assembly hardware whose insulation would protect against sun and rain alike while keeping residents comfortable as they access their vehicles in style!
Twisted Rock Terrascape & Design, Inc.What an awesome project!! Our client wanted us to design and build a complete custom backyard that had to match up with the existing rock on the house. They wanted warm natural cedar accents throughout as well that carried from the mantle on the massive outdoor fireplace over to the outdoor kitchen and privacy screens & gates. We finished with stainless steel cabinets, Dacor inset grill, 40" firebox, as well as fridge. Our client also wanted us to overlay rock onto the parging at the rear of the house to tie it all in. The project was capped off with natural rock accent boulders and an address rock as well as custom aluminum fencing and large trees for privacy. We added concrete edge and exposed aggregate patio to create an extremely cozy area for socializing and relaxing that has great curb appeal!!

居間の脇の土間を通り、中庭を挟んで和室があります。ここまでは土足のまま来ることもでき、また、和室は靴を履いたまま座れる小上がりになってます。庭仕事の合間の小休止がしやすく、いですね。知らず知らずに庭仕事にも熱が入る建物です
